Connect accounts
Each person connects their own Instagram account in the Gateway, once, and every app that asks uses it. Apps never see the tokens. How connecting works
The redirect URI to register, with your Gateway's address (like apps.example.com):
https://<your gateway>/connect/instagram/callbackThe Instagram API with Instagram Login, on a Meta app. The token lasts an hour; the long-lived exchange isn't done by the Gateway. Not yet tried against a live connect.
- Open developers.facebook.com and create an OAuth app (also called a client or an integration).
- Add the redirect URI above.
- Copy the client ID and client secret. The secret is often shown only once.
Add it to your Gateway. It asks for the client ID and secret:
everyapp provider add instagramOr add it in Manage workspace → Providers.
Use it in an app
capabilities: {
instagram: { access: "read", scopes: ["insights.read"], why: "What the app does with it." },
},Apps ask for these scope sets:
| Set | Allows | Provider scopes |
|---|---|---|
identity | Instagram account (who you are) | instagram_business_basic |
insights.read | Insights (read) | instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_manage_insights |
posts.write | Posts and comments | instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_content_publish, instagram_business_manage_comments |
Check it worked: everyapp provider show instagram shows the client as set. Then open the account menu → Connected accounts → Connect Instagram.
